Features and Enhancements
Support for Kubernetes 1.33
ACP now supports Kubernetes 1.33, delivering the latest upstream features, performance improvements, and security enhancements from the Kubernetes community.
ACP CLI (ac)
The new ACP CLI (ac) enables you to develop, build, deploy, and run applications on ACP with a seamless command-line experience.
Key capabilities include:
- kubectl-compatible commands
- Integrated authentication with ACP platform environments
- Unified session management across multiple environments
- ACP-specific extensions for platform access and cross-environment workflows
For full feature details, see: ACP CLI (ac)
Hosted Control Plane (HCP)
Released:
- Alauda Container Platform Kubeadm Provider
- Alauda Container Platform Hosted Control Plane
- Alauda Container Platform SSH Infrastructure Provider
Lifecycle: Agnostic (released asynchronously with ACP)
Hosted Control Plane decouples the control plane from worker nodes by hosting each cluster's control plane as containerized components within a management cluster. This architecture reduces resource usage, speeds up cluster creation and upgrades, and provides improved scalability for large multi-cluster environments.

Deprecated and Removed Features
Kubernetes Version Upgrade Policy Update
Starting from ACP 4.2, upgrading the Kubernetes version is no longer optional. When performing a cluster upgrade, the Kubernetes version must be upgraded together with other platform components. This change ensures version consistency across the cluster and reduces future maintenance windows.
